Not the Day We Expected at Maho Beach — What I Wish I Knew Before!

We headed to Maho Beach in Sint Maarten to watch planes land just a few feet overhead… and let’s just say it wasn’t the day we expected 😅

This time, ‪@CruiseCompCaptain‬ and I explored with friends — Lynelle from ‪@PovertyToParadise‬ , Trevor and Tami from ‪@harbor2happyhour‬— which made the chaos way more fun!

From shared taxis and surprise rain to crowds, jet blast, and a super long trip back to port, this video is our honest take on Maho Beach and everything I wish I knew before going.

In this vlog, we:
🚕 Took a shared taxi from the cruise port
🍹 Stopped at Sunset Bar & Grill
🌧 Got soaked waiting through a rainstorm
✈️ Watched low planes land at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM)
😬 Waited forever for a return ride
⏳ Took way longer getting back than planned
👯‍♀️ Hung out with fellow cruise creators and made the most of it anyway

At the end, I share:
✨ Whether Maho Beach is worth visiting on a cruise stop
💡 My time-saving tips + what I’d do differently
